Standard Solutions = “Solutions containing knownconcentrations of analyte(s)”
Blank Solutions = “Solutions containing all the reagentsand solvents used in the analysis, but no deliberatelyadded analyte”
Construction of Calibration CurvesStep 1: Prepare known samples of analyte covering a rangeof concentrations expected for unknowns. Measure theresponse of the analytical procedure for these standards.

Construction of Calibration CurvesStep 1: Prepare known samples of analyte covering a rangeof concentrations expected for unknowns. Measure theresponse of the analytical procedure for these standards.
Step 2: Subtract the (average) response of the blank samplesfrom each measured standard to obtain the corrected value.
Corrected = Measured - Blank
Construction of Calibration CurvesStep 1: Prepare known samples of analyte covering a rangeof concentrations expected for unknowns. Measure theresponse of the analytical procedure for these standards.
Step 2: Subtract the average response of the blank samplesfrom each measured standard to obtain the corrected value.
Step 3: Make a graph of corrected versus concentration ofstandard, and use the “method of least squares” procedure tofind the best straight line through the linear portion of the data.
Step 4: To determine the concentration of an unknown,analyze the unknown sample along with a blank, subtract theblank to obtain the corrected value and use the correctedvalue to determine the concentration based on yourcalibration curve.

Vertical Deviation = di = yi - y = yi - (mxi + b)
di2 = (yi - y)2 = (yi - mxi - b)2
We wish to minimize to minimize the magnitude ofthe deviations (regardless of sign) so we square the terms. This is where “Method of least Squares” takes its name.

“Method of Least Squares”
Example: To analyze protein levels, you use a spectrophotometer tomeasure a colored product which results from chemical reaction withprotein. To construct a calibration curve, you make the followingmeasurements of absorbance (of the colored product) for several knownamounts of protein. Use the “method of least squares” to determine thebest fit line.
